“We have detained around 250 riders including juveniles.  However, they were allowed to go following counselling and after their parents were called,” said a senior police official.

As most of them gave the excuse of visiting religious places in the area, priests from Hanuman Mandir and Granthi's from the nearby Gurudwara were called in to make them understand that they don't need to break laws to be religious, police said.
